Communications
Communications is staying informed and staying in contact—inside your household and outside it.
Why It Matters
When you don’t know what’s happening, you make poor decisions. When you can’t reach people, coordination breaks down.
How It Works
Most communication runs through centralized digital systems—cell networks, internet, and platforms.
Where It Breaks
Outages, overload, misinformation.
You have devices, but not reliable information or contact.
Capability Layers
- Short: Multiple contact methods, awareness of information sources
- Medium: Backup comms (radios), communication plans
- Long: Independent systems, local networks, signal redundancy
